What To Expect
Worship
We gather on Sunday mornings to celebrate and remember the most significant event in history: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You can expect to hear about God’s love and grace, about the person and work of Christ, and about our need to respond to Him.
Each aspect of our worship service is rooted in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. Worship is more than just singing. We worship the triune God as we read and listen to God's Word, as we pray, as we hear the preaching of the Word, as we give tithes and offerings, and through the administration of baptism and the Lord's Supper. It's all worship!
That being said, we do love music and we love to sing! At Good Shepherd, there will be a mix of old songs, new songs, and old songs done in new ways. We highly value singing that engages our hearts and minds and that fixes our focus on God during worship.

Children
Children are certainly welcome to stay in the worship service; in fact, we encourage whole families to be together in worship. For that reason, we don't have a separate "children's church." We have Kids' Worship Notes to help your little ones follow along in worship and to help you guide them and model worship for them.
However, if your little one has trouble settling, we offer a couple options for you. Childcare is available for children ages 4 and under. You may check-in your child downstairs. Also, you can take advantage of our Worship Training Room located downstairs. It has a live feed of the service along with chairs like the ones in the sanctuary, as well as a play area and some snacks and water. In addition, a private area for nursing mothers is available in the back of the Worship Training Room.
